The Effects of Aerodynamic Heating and Heat Transfer on the Surface Temperature of a Body of Revolution in Steady Supersonic Flight

Description: "An approximate method for determining the convective cooling requirement in the laminar boundary-layer region of a body of revolution in high-speed flight was developed and applied to an example body. The cooling requirement for the example body was determined as a function of Mach number, altitude, size, and a surface-temperature parameter. The maximum value of Mach number considered was 3.0 and the altitudes considered were those within the lower constant-temperature region of the atmosphere… more

Investigation of High-Lift and Stall-Control Devices on a NACA 64-Series 42 Degree Sweptback Wing With and Without Fuselage

Description: Report presenting an investigation of a 42 degree sweptback wing of aspect ratio 4, taper ratio 0.625, and NACA 64-series airfoil sections to study several proposed devices for increasing the maximum lift coefficient and improving the longitudinal stability characteristics of sweptback wings at the stall. Some of the devices tested included leading-edge flaps and slats, trailing-edge split and extended split flaps, upper-surface split flaps, and upper-surface fences. The results regarding the c… more

Present status of polonium tolerance estimations

Description: This report contains a summary of biological information on distribution, excretion, and toxicity of polonium; a comparison of results obtained when maximum permissible exposure rates for man are calculated from available data by different methods; and a critical evaluation of the present status of Po tolerance estimates. A maximum permissible body content of the order of 0.2 {mu}c/70 Kg man is obtained by two methods. Applying an urinary excretion rate of 0.1% of body content/day, effective ha… more

The Effects of Horizontal-Tail Location and Wing Modifications on the High-Speed Stability and Control Characteristics of a 01.17-Scale Model of the McDonnell XF2H-1 Airplane (TED No, NACA DE336)

Description: "An additional series of high-speed wind-tunnel tests of a modified 0.17-scale model of the McDonnell XF2H-1 airplane was conducted to evaluate the effects of a reduction in the thickness-to-chord ratios of the tail planes, the displacement of the horizontal tail relative to the vertical tail, and the extension of the trailing edge of the wing. Two tail-intersection fairings designed to improve the flow at the tail were also tested. The pitching-moment characteristics of the model were improved… more

An Investigation at Low Speed of a Large-Scale Triangular Wing of Aspect Ratio Two 3: Characteristics of Wing With Body and Vertical Tail

Description: Report presenting an investigation to determine the aerodynamic characteristics in sideslip of a triangular wing of aspect ratio 2.04 in combination with a body of fineness ratio 12.5 and a vertical tail surface. The body combined with the triangular plan-form wing caused no significant changes in the lift characteristics of the wing and only a 1-percent decrease in the static margin. Results regarding the longitudinal characteristics, lateral and directional characteristics, and estimation of … more

Survey of the Present Status of Isotope Separation Methods

Description: The problem of the separation or enrichment of isotopes is as old as the knowledge of the existence of isotopes of stable elements. The article focuses on the mass-dependent property of atoms continuing to be investigated in laboratories to test its usefulness for new solutions to this problem.

Control Hinge-Moment and Effectiveness Characteristics of a 60 Degree Half-Delta Tip Control on a 60 Degree Delta Wing at Mach Numbers of 1.41 and 1.96

Description: Memorandum presenting an investigation of a half-delta wing-tip control on a semispan 60 degree delta-wing-fuselage combination conducted in the 9- by 12-inch supersonic blowdown tunnel. Control-surface hinge moments and bending moments, as well as the characteristics of the complete wing-fuselage combination, were obtained over a large range of control deflection and angle of attack at specified Mach and Reynolds numbers. Results regarding the control bending-moment and hinge-moment characteri… more

Low Speed Wind Tunnel Tests of Several Airfoil Sections Through 360 ° Angle of Attack

Description: A series of two-dimensional airfoils were run through a complete 360 ° angle of attack range to determine their low-speed force characteristics. The airfoils were chosen in an attempt to vary as many parameters (such as thickness, camber, thickness distribution, etc.) as possible with the limited number of shapes that time permitted. All airfoils tested had lift curves with two distinct stalls and quite similar drag curves between 0 ° and 90 ° angle of attack. The highly cambered sections devel… more

Growth of Disturbances in a Flame-Generated Shear Region

Description: Results are presented of an experimental and theoretical investigation of the growth of transverse velocity disturbances in the shear region caused by a flame in a duct. In the theoretical stability analysis, a flow field arising from a flame in a duct was analyzed. The flow was neutrally stable to symmetric disturbances and unstable to antisymmetric ones. In the experimental part of the program disturbances of various frequencies were imposed on a flame stabilized in a duct, and the effects we… more

Preliminary Note on a Correlation of a Boundary-Layer Transition Results on Highly Cooled Blunt Bodies

Description: "Transition data on highly cooled blunt bodies are correlated in terms of the ratio of wall to local-stream enthalpy, Reynolds number based on displacement thickness, and location of transition. The proposed correlation, although not sensitive enough to predict the exact location of transition does predict the enthalpy ratio below which very early transition on blunt bodies is expected. The correlation is not altered by moderate amounts of surface roughness; however, the location of transition … more
